Santa Monica Uber and Lyft Accident Lawyer
Injured in a Rideshare Crash in Santa Monica?
Rideshare cars are everywhere in Santa Monica, picking up and dropping off along Ocean Avenue, near the Pier, on Main Street, and on the way to and from LAX. Frequent stops, drivers watching their phones for the next ride, and crowded streets all raise the risk of a crash.
Rideshare cases are more complicated than ordinary car accidents because several insurance policies may apply. At United Attorney Group, we help passengers, other drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists hurt in Uber and Lyft crashes find the right coverage and pursue full compensation.
Santa Monica clients choose our attorneys because we offer:
- Decades of combined experience handling serious injury cases.
- A track record of significant settlements and verdicts.
- Trial lawyers who stand up to insurance companies.
- No attorney fees unless we win your case.
Call our Santa Monica office at (310) 295-9200 or request a free consultation.
How Rideshare Insurance Works in California
California requires Uber and Lyft to carry insurance for their drivers. Which policy applies depends on what the driver was doing at the time of the crash:
- App off: only the driver’s personal auto insurance usually applies.
- App on, waiting for a ride: the rideshare company provides limited liability coverage.
- Ride accepted or passenger in the car: the company’s policy provides up to $1 million in liability coverage.
Insurance companies often argue about which period applies. We gather app data, trip records, and witness statements to prove it.
What to Do After an Uber or Lyft Accident
- Call 911 and get medical care, even if you feel fine.
- Take screenshots of the ride in your app and note the driver’s name and plate number.
- Photograph the vehicles, the scene, and your injuries.
- Get contact information from witnesses and the other drivers.
- Report the crash in the Uber or Lyft app, but avoid detailed recorded statements.
- Call a lawyer before accepting any settlement offer.
Compensation and Time Limits
You may be able to recover medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and future care costs. California uses comparative fault, so you can recover compensation even if you were partly at fault, although it may be reduced. Most injury lawsuits must be filed within two years of the crash.
